Two experiments were conducted to examine the characteristics of vivid visual imagery. In Exps. 1 and 2, analysis showed that the subjects' drawings of their imagery indicated more visual features for the vivid imagers than for the non-vivid imagers and no difference in sketching time between the two groups. Image-construction time was shorter for the vivid imagers than for the nonvivid ones in Exp. 2, but no difference was found in Exp. 1. On the basis of these results, the mechanism underlying individual differences in vividness of imagery was discussed in relation to the model of imagery processes proposed by Kosslyn (1980) and his colleagues.
进行了两项实验以检验生动视觉意象的特征。在实验1和实验2中，分析表明，与非生动意象者相比，生动意象者对其意象的绘画表现出更多的视觉特征，且两组之间的绘图时间没有差异。在实验2中，生动意象者的意象构建时间比非生动意象者短，但在实验1中未发现差异。基于这些结果，结合科斯琳（1980）及其同事提出的意象加工模型，讨论了意象生动性个体差异的潜在机制。
